We stayed in an apartment here which, purely by luck, was an amazing choice. A very short walk up to the castle or into the old town in either direction. A lovely area with beautiful picturesque buildings and charming alleys and passages. Plenty of places to eat and drink too but all without the (sometimes massive) hassle of having to...

Stunning architecture and a wonderfully elegant feel to the area ensures you constantly look up to see the detail of the beautiful buildings. There are many tourists here but that seems to add to the feeling of being in a place that has always been well populated and loved. Each side alley and turn of the road has a different...

An area of charme, still elegant. But very few interesting shops and antique shops selling things at crazy prices, thinking you don t know what are you going to buy. So a good vote for the atmosphere and restaurants, a bed one for shops: very cheap and nasty or with a terrible price4value

One of the original city neibourghoods, just below the Castle. Full of history, magic, architecture and so on. You can walk there for days or years and it is always different. I am doing so for the last 31 years. And still i don't have enough. I am just lucky enough to live...very near.

A neat neighborhood section under the foothills of the Castle District. Here, you can stroll through streets brimming with cafes and pubs, visit modern museums, or stroll through the Wallenstein Gardens.

Get lost in the small cobblestone streets and narrow alleyways in this magical part of Prague. There are great small cafes, restaurants and shops to discover and a lot fewer tourists than in the Old Town. The architecture is one of a kind and no matter how many times I come here, I'm always admiring the beautifully painted buildings and...

Our hotel was in this section of the city so we got to know it quite well. Not as crazy with tourists as the old town you still get a lot walking through on their way to the castle. I found the side streets charming and beautiful. Especially at night when it calmed down a little.

Staying in Mala Strana (Little Quarter)

Neighbourhood Profile

Mala Strana (Little Quarter)

Malá Strana is one of the oldest and the most beautiful neighbourhoods in the city. Nestled underneath Prague Castle it was once a part of the Kings route taken by future kings on their way to coronation - originating in the Old Town, crossing Charles Bridge and leading to Saint Vitus Cathedral. Cobblestone streets are lined with picturesque medieval houses, remarkable palaces, churches, kitsch shops and restaurants. Do not hesitate to turn a corner into any narrow street. You will suddenly find yourself in a calm and charming neighbourhood full of hidden gardens, parks with peacocks, fruit trees and ponds. As the neighbourhood is a home to Czech Parliament and many ministries, you can also run into well-dressed officials. If you are thirsty or hungry, it is the right place to be. Restaurants offer delicious traditional food and of course, the best Czech beers.
